[quote=Anonymous]Myself. Youngest of 3 wanted ballet or something else, but soccer was the family sport. I'm the kid that drew in the dirt and did cartwheels with my friend in the back at Kindergarten soccer. A few years later, I changed. By 4th grade I was plucked out of rec by a travel coach that saw me. I ended up on a very winning team--Nationally and Freshmen Varsity player, scholarships. It may never click with your kid as it may not be their sport. The best thing you can do is not push it. Let them come around to on their own---and if they aren't having fun after awhile--find something new. I do think this push of putting first and second graders in travel with 3 ninety minute practices per week and travel to games and tournaments every holiday weekend is why so many children burn out. My kids started doing travel in 3rd grade. And, frankly, I would have rather seen it start in 4th. [/quote]
